Abstract
|
|
|
Montane grassland at the summit of Mt. Soback, Korea, was studied to verify the relationships between environmental factors and vegetations on the different slopes.
The contents of total nitrogen and exchangeable metallic cation and thickness of A-layer of soil in the east slope were greater and thicker than those of the northswest one. Two different community types were observed one, on the east slope, was a forb community and the other, on the northwest, was a grass community. Plant height and annual production of the forb community were taller and greater than those of the grass community. These differences might be correlated with the difference of snow depth between two slopes caused by wind in winter. It is clear that the formation of the montane grassland at the study area is mainly caused by fire, wind and topography at the summit.
